Plot Synopsis
Agent Cobalt is a metalface sent by Borealis to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the human colony Trunkopolis on a planet known as Trunkopia.
Development History
In 2001,[4] Daniel "thewreck" Brynolf had developed a platformer prototype called Blueface. Following the release of Harvest: Massive Encounter in 2008, Oxeye wanted to develop another, more in-depth game. Unable to come up with ideas, it was decided that Blueface had a sufficiently solid foundation to become a "better game". Beginning in August of 2009,[5] work began on Project B. Initially, it looked rather similar to Blueface.[6]
On 8 October 2010, Project B was officially renamed to Cobalt[7]
